I like 'em, and have to agree with ER regarding style.
I think the issues raised by those two could be raised far more effectively if done in a calmer manner. Who can be surprised any more by Conservatives? Greed in the form of derivatives, greed and cruelty in the form of Iraq and tactics in Afghanistan, torture all over the world, these are simply a way of Conservatives doing business.
That doesn't mean those policies should be accepted as tolerable - they aren't. But to be outraged and surprised at them is to think a piranha or pit bull is being hostile at some personal level. It's just built in.
And I do love their content.
